Christine
Johnston is a vocalist/performer who has, since 1988 designed, written,
created and performed works and sound for events, festivals, theatre,
film and cabaret throughout Australia, including regular appearances in
the popular Brisbane Cabaret series Women in Voice.
With always a strong visual component, Christine is well known for her
bird-call mimcry, musical-saw playing and surprising performances, creating
characters that find humorous angles in which to interpret her observations
of the human experience.
In 2003 Christine toured her highly acclaimed show Decent Spinster (for
which she won a Matilda Commendation Award) to Sydney Opera House, the
Brisbane Powerhouse and the Adelaide Cabaret Festival. She devised her
first children's show, Fluff, for the 2002 Out of the Box Festival of
Early Childhood, which consequently toured to Adelaide and Sydney Opera
House in 2004. She played eccentric opera singer Mrs. Gloria Elspeth Creek
in QTC's 2002 production of The Messiah. In April 2003 she collaborated
with dancer/actor Lisa O'Neill to create a new performance work called
Pianissimo, commissioned and produced by QPAC, presented in the Cremorne
Theatre, touring to Sydney Opera House in May 2004.
She is the middle sister of comedic trio The Kransky Sisters, who are
gathering a loyal following wherever they perform. With their show "We
Don't Have Husbands" at the 2004 Melbourne International Comedy Festival
they won The Age Critics Award, Melbourne Airport Best Newcomers Award
and a Barry Award Nomination. They have since been touring thoughout Australia
and are regulars on SBS's In Siberia Tonight with Steve Abbott. Christine
